Patented July 29, 1947 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE TRAILER ATTACHMENT Bernard A. Swanson, Port Angeles, -Wasl1. Application January 18, 1946,l Serial No. 641,967
8 Claims. (Cl. 280-61) This invention relates for boats or the like, and of the invention to provide a device of this kind which can be readily and conveniently applied in desired position upon a boat to facilitate transportation,
It is also an object of the invention to providea trailer attachment so constructed and arranged as to be readily applied in pro-per position upon a boat while floating so that when the boat is pulled from the water it is ready for the road.
A still further object of the invention` is to provide an attachment of this kind which is engaged with a boat or the like in a manner toy eiectively resist road shock so that the liability of the attachment becoming unfastened during transit is substantially eliminated. v
The invention consists in the detailsof con.- struction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved trailer attachment whereby certain important advantages are attained, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In Iorder that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a trailer attachment constructed in accordance with `an embodiment of my invention and in applied position;
to a trailer attachment Figure 2 is a fragmentary view in top plan of the assembly as illustrated in Figure 1; c
Figure 3 is a fragmentary view in bottomv plan of the boat to which the attachment is toA be applied; Y
Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary detailed sectional'view'taken substantiallyon the line 4-4 of Figure 1;
Figure 5 is an` enlarged detailed sectional view taken substantiallyon the line5-5 of Figure 1, the wheel being diagrammatically indicated by broken lines;
Figure 6 is a detailed sectional view taken. substantially lon the line I-I of Figure 5;;and
Figure 7 is a View in perspective of the elongated attaching plate unapplied.
While in. the accompanying drawings only, one attachment is illustrated, it is to be stated that in practice two attachments are used, the samel being engaged with the opposite side portions'of the boat B or the like.
In the embodiment of the invention as disclosed it is a particular obect in the accompanying drawings,V the attachment comprises an elongated plate I of desired dlmen"` sions and provided along its outer margin with an upst'anding flange 2. This plate Ii and ilange 2 have disposed thereover the pads or cushions 3,
. preferably of rubber. The plate I underlies a side marginal portion of the bottom 4 of the boat B with the flange 2 extending along the lower portion of a side wall 5 of the boat, the pads 3, as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, being indirect contact with the boat B. The plate I is elongated and is provided at each end portion with an upstanding stud 6 having a head 'I'. The bottom 4', at each side portion thereof and in desired location, is provided with a pair of longitudinally spaced pockets 8 formed in the under surface of the bottom 4 of the boat. Each of these pockets 8 has its 4outer or open face closed by a plate 9, the outer face of which being substantially flush with the under surface of the bottom 4 of the boat. The plate 9 Ais provided with a button-hole slot l0, the larger end portion of which being of a diameter to readily allow the insertion therethrough ofa head 1 of a stud 6 but, of course, of a diameter greater than the width of the restricted portion of the slot I0. It is believed to be apparent that the studs 6 coact with the plates 9 in a manner to eifectively hold the plate I in desired position along the side of the boat B.V
As is illustrated in Figure 4, each of the studs 16 has av threaded outer portion which extends through the plate I and engaged with said threaded portion is a holding nut l I' having con.- tact from below with the plate I.
Welded, as at I2, or otherwise' rigidly connected to the central portion of the plate I is a downwardly and laterally inclined tubular member I4. -This member -III is disposed on an angle of approximately with respect to the plate I and is of a length toterminate a material distance beyond the outer side margin of the plate I, or provided with the flange 2-.`
that marginal portion Rigdly secured, as at I5, to the lower or outer end of the member III, as by welding, is ttheinner end portion of a stub axle A upon which is mounted a ground engaging wheel W. This wheel W is preferably of type including a pneumatic tire C.
Extending into the lower portion of the member I4 is the lower end portion of an elongated tubular post I6, the top wall of the member I4 being provided with a suitably positioned opening .II through which this post I6 snugly passes.y The inserted end of the post I 6 is formed to have close contact with the bottom wall portion of the member I4 and is welded, as at I8', or otherwise rigidly secured thereto. The post I 6 is also welded or otherwise rigidly secured, as' at I9, to the Wall or tom end toward its outer or upper end and said upper end portion of the thimble or casing T is provided therearound with an inwardly disposed bead or flange 24.
snugly surrounds an elongated tubular rod or member 21. The lower portion 28 of the sleeve 26 is reduced in diameter to substantially snugly enter the upper end portion of the post I6. This reduced portion 28 provides the sleeve 26 with a downwardly facing and circumferentially disposed surrounding shoulder 2B which, by contact with the upper end of the post I6, limits the inward movement of the sleeve 26. The tubular rod or member 21 is of a length to extend a material distance inwardly of the post I6, and has keyed, as at 36, or otherwise secured to its lower or inserted end a surrounding collar 3l which forms an abutment for an end portion of an-expansible member 32 herein disclosed as a coil spring of requisite tension interposed between the collar 3| and the inner or inserted endLof the sleeve 26. This expansible member or coil spring 32` operates to constantly urge outwardly the sleeve 26 so that the balls 33 retained by the sleeve 26 will coact with the tapered side wall 23 of the thimble or casing T and the periphery of the rod or member 21 to'lock said member against endwise movement. The sleeve 26 is provided therethrough with an annular series of circumferentially disposed spaced openings 34 vin each of which is arranged aball 33, said ball'besuicientto have the ball extend ing of a radius outwardlyfro'm and inwardly of the sleeve 26 so that `the ball have desired holding or locking contact with the wall 23 ofthe thimble or cas'- ing T and the periphery of the rod orimember 21.
The gunwale 35 at each side of the boat is provided with a desired positioned, upwardly facing socket 36 of material depth. Suitably secured upon the gunwale 35 is aH reinforcing washer 31, the opening 38 of which being in register with the socket 36` Extending within the socket 36 through the opening 38 of the washer 31 is the straight bill 39 depending from the' 5 laterally disposed arm 40 of a hook member M. The arm 40 extends laterally from the upper end portion 'of the shank 4| of the hook memberM` which snugly fits within the upper portion of the rod or member 21 and is rigidly anchored thereto by a suitable key 42, or otherwise as ,may be preferred.
The upper end of the rod or member Z'Ihas welded, as at 43,v or otherwise rigidly secured thereto an end portion of an elongated and re1- atively wide plate 44, the under surface of which having disposed thereover a cushion 45, preferably of rubber. The shank 4I Aof the hook member M is inserted through this plate 44 which is of a vlength to overlie the gunwale 35 when the4 attachment is in position with the inner end portion of the plate 44, or more particularly the pad 45'thereof, inY contact from above with the washer 31. The inner end portion of thsplate l 44 is Yprovided therethrough with an opening 46 Insertible from above into the thimble or casing T through its upper or top opening 25 is an elongated sleeve 26 which through which the straight bill 39 of the hookf member M passes.
As hereinbefore stated, two of the attachments as herein described are to be engaged with theboat or the iike to be transported with such attachments in alignment transversely of the boat or the like. The member I4 of each of the attachments is provided adjacent its top with an inwardly'idisposed I-mernber 41v to provide means l0 whereby the member I4 of one attachment may be connected with the member I4 of the second attachment by a cross rod whenever deemed necessary or expedient.
In applying an attachment, the sleeve or retainer '26 is manually forced inwardly a distance suicient to release the locking of the holding balls 33, whereupon pull is imposed upon the arm 40 of the hook member M to move the rod or member 21 outwardly a distance suflicient to en- 2o able the bill 36 of the hook member M to be properly disposed over the gunwale 35 of the boat B with respect to the socket 36, after the studs 6 have been interlocked with the plates 6. The hook member M will be readily locked in its extended position upon release of the sleeve 26 by the balls 33 and after the bill 39has been properly aligned with the socket 36 the sleeve 26 will be again depressed, whereupon the expansible j member or spring 32 will operate to automatically draw the bill 39 of the hook member M into the socket 36. It is to be particularly pointed out that the at" tachment as herein disclosed is relatively small in '.gsizeand light in weight. This is of advantage as the attachment can be readily applied to the boat or removed therefrom while the boat is afloat and in the event the attachment should be dropped into the water the buoyancy of the tire carried by the wheel W will be sufficient to keep the attachment afloat so that it can be easily recovered. f Y
It is also to pansible member or spring 32 serves to maintain zigthebill '39 of the hook vmember M down within the socket 36 and thereby substantially eliminating liability of the attachment becoming unfastened as a result of road shock.
From the foregoing description it is thought frito be obvious `that a trailerattachmentconstructed in accordance with my invention is par` ticularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be asf sembled and operated.
